And I'm an only child and my folks live in the UK. Christmas is just an extended guilt trip for me as I try to work out how best to see everyone, I can't remember the last time I even thought about what I'd like.Yeah I have the same pre Christmas thoughts as you did, my family are all ireland based so helps a little on that context, but still find it hard
We have young kids now though, so the focus is switching to them, which makes it a bit easier
Now that you mention it, on the plus side we are expecting our first child at the end of December, so that will change things... in more ways than one!!
Congrats lorcand, the first is always a bit daunting but you get there
Our third is due in April next year, we've 8 and 4 year old boys who are a handful but awesome at the same time
